Oh, Japan. The country is well-liked by many due to its rich and aesthetic culture. Actually living there may be out of reach for most, but that’s where games come in. With many titles that offer to immerse us in Japan, which should you play? Let’s take a look at two highly praised games and see which to pick. Here, we’ll have both a Sekiro review and a Ghost of Tsushima review.

Sekiro Game Review

Let’s start with a review on Sekiro, a game that takes place in 16th century, feudal Japan. Here, we put on the shoes of the maincharacter, Wolf. He is a Shinobi on a rescue and redemption quest for his beloved Master and himself.

Unlike Ghost of Tsushima, which we’ll review later, Sekiro’s world is a mix of traditional and supernatural elements. It also focuses more on the intense combat system where one must grow their skills to beat enemies and bosses. It is very much similar to the game that boasts difficult one on one battles like Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

Aside from the challenges that will test your gamer skills, Sekiro will also review your wits with puzzles. Think of the game as a challenge that you would take on if you want to prove your gamer skills. In this game, the enemies don’t follow traditional difficulty progression. You simply fight, whether a foe is difficult depends on your style.

Ghost of Tsushima Review

Let’s now move to the review on Ghost of Tsushima. Similarly, the setting takes place in Feudal Japan but it’s in the 13th Century. Here, we follow the story of Jin Sakai, a Samurai that fights against the invading Mongols.

Both games share a twin-like soul that parallels one another. The difference is that in Ghost of Tsushima we get to review the Japanese environment more. Instead of focusing on heavy combat intensity, the game offers a more chill pace. It indulges us with immersive exploration, captivating story, and cinematic battles.

As an open-world game, Ghost of Tsushima is filled with inspiring scenery and the beautiful sound of traditional Japanese instruments. In contrast, Gothic music and a darker atmosphere is what we get to review in Sekiro.

So Which Game Should You Pick?

Now that we get a review of both Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima, we can see their differences and similarities. Do not be so quick to buy on the comments that talk about a game being better than the other. Everything here remains subjective and both games can make you fall in love. It all boils down on what type of game is your current appetite.

If you prefer challenges and the adrenaline rush of fast paced combat, Sekiro is for you. This game will satisfy your craving for the Japan experience as well as the fulfillment of overcoming tall mountains.

If you want to immerse yourself more in the richness of story, jaw dropping sights to behold, and thrill of discovery, Ghost of Tsushima is for you. The game would certainly pull you in and make you feel the greatness of Japan. You’ll get a taste of cinematic gameplay and mesmerizing music that’ll envelop you as you explore a wonder-filled world.

Conclusion

There you have it, a Sekiro review and a Ghost of Tsushima review to tease your imagination. Both games have their own fine blade’s edges and are certified gems of great value. It is not really a question of which one is better; more on who are you as a gamer? Are you the type who thrives in victory as a testament of strength, or are you someone who searches for a deeper sense of connection.

In the end, it’s on you to choose what manner of game sets your soul on fire.
